Participants of PRiMER after the course! What a way to wrap it up for the coming year! Thank you to all the particpants.

Cities are complex systems. Building on the 'science of cities' our research works on planning for evolution of cities.

Biodiversity estimations have been typically carried out mostly in protected areas. However, there remains an un-estimated diversity outside forests or the non-protected areas which are mostly not sampled and estimated scientifically. Here, our research attempts to study the biodiversity in the non-protected areas.

Opportunities

Gubbi Labs is happy to call for applications to the following positions based out of our Bangalore office.

Gubbi Labs has embarked upon carrying out a tree census in Bangalore. Several citizens have already come forward to learn about tree identification and the different tools used in mapping. Currently, as part of Neralu 2017, the tree festival, scheduled on Feb 18th and 19th, citizens young and old are mapping the trees in Indiranagar, Basavanagudi, Electronics City and Cooke Town. Schools are encouraged to participate in the mapping activity, which could help create awareness and appreciation, among the students, about the importance of trees. You can follow the link below to start mapping trees: https://gubbilabs.github.io/tree-map/

Gubbi Labs is pleased to announce fellowship opportunities for individuals interested in ecology, conservation and community outreach. Gubbi Labs is a unique private research collective working in diverse areas such as ecological and urban research, science communication, consulting and community outreach.

The Western Ghats of India is known for its myriad diversity of amphibians. Frogs in particular have been hopping all over the place and one can find reports of new species being discovered almost on a monthly basis. As a case in point, over 100 species of frogs have been discovered from the Western Ghats in the last decade alone.
